The older adult population in the U.S. is becoming increasingly diverse across a constellation of factors including ethnoracial group, socioeconomic status, and immigration status. However, our understanding of the consequences of this diversity for cognitive and mental health is masked by the lack of inclusion of diverse sample characteristics, the use of assessments that might hold a different meaning for different groups of people, and analytical choices that do not probe the impact of diverse characteristics or assume an unwarranted degree of homogeneity within groups. Each of these factors not only hinders our ability to understand various psychological mechanisms that differ as a function of age but also threatens the likelihood of replicability across aging research studies. This article provides our perspective on three key sources of nonreplicability in ethnoracial health disparities research among older adults: (a) what is lost in creating monolithic groups rather than identifying subgroups of minorities, (b) understanding aging from the perspective of intersecting identities, and (c) biases of research materials. We also provide recommendations to increase replicability in aging research with respect to the challenges outlined. Approaching questions on aging from a health disparities lens can both increase the generalizability of research outcomes and improve initiatives of social justice that are long overdue.

人口老龄化种族差异研究中不可重复性的根源。

美国的老年人口在一系列因素中正变得越来越多样化,这些因素包括种族群体,社会经济地位和移民地位。但是,我们对这种多样性对认知和心理健康后果的理解被以下因素所掩盖:缺乏多样性的样本特征;使用可能对不同人群具有不同含义的评估;以及无法探究的分析选择各种特征的影响,或假设组内的同质性不当。这些因素中的每一个不仅阻碍了我们理解随年龄变化的各种心理机制的能力,而且还威胁了在衰老研究中可复制性的可能性。本文提供了我们对老年人种族健康差异研究中不可重复性的三个主要来源的看法:(a)在创建整体群体而不是识别少数群体时所失去的东西;(b)从相交身份的角度理解衰老;以及(c)研究材料的偏见。我们还针对上述挑战提供了建议,以提高老化研究的可重复性。从健康差异的角度探讨有关衰老的问题,既可以提高研究成果的可推广性,又可以改善早就应有的社会正义倡议。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2021 APA,保留所有权利)。(a)在创建整体群体而不是识别少数群体时所失去的东西;(b)从相交的身份的角度理解衰老;以及(c)研究材料的偏见。我们还针对上述挑战提供了建议,以提高老化研究的可重复性。从健康差异的角度探讨有关衰老的问题,既可以提高研究成果的可推广性,又可以改善早就应有的社会正义倡议。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2021 APA,保留所有权利)。(a)在创建整体群体而不是识别少数群体时所失去的东西;(b)从相交的身份的角度理解衰老;以及(c)研究材料的偏见。我们还针对上述挑战提供了建议,以提高老化研究的可重复性。从健康差异的角度探讨有关衰老的问题,既可以提高研究成果的可推广性,又可以改善早就应有的社会正义倡议。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2021 APA,保留所有权利)。从健康差异的角度探讨衰老问题,既可以提高研究成果的可推广性,又可以改善早就应有的社会正义倡议。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2021 APA,保留所有权利)。从健康差异的角度探讨有关衰老的问题,既可以提高研究成果的可推广性,又可以改善早就应有的社会正义倡议。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2021 APA,保留所有权利)。
